Me, Myself, and I

My essay is going to be on football. I love to play it and watch it. Just the atmosphere around it is great. Surviving against the elements, having enough energy to play through the fourth quarter, the better man wins, and you coaching the TV. The first time I tried to get my equipment on was a funny fiasco. It was with my Mom, who knew pretty much nothing about football at the time. We could not figure out how to get the shoulder pads on, or the pads in the pants, the list goes on. But apart from being fun and amusing, football is very challenging. Like when you are all out of energy but still have to play, when the across from you is bigger, stuff like that. Everyone should have the challenge in their life to keep them trying harder, to show them they are not the best yet, and so they do not slack off even if they thing they thing they are not the best on the team. And football sure does give you challenge.

Football also teaches a lot of great life skills, which include discipline, teamwork, and coordination. Football teaches discipline because if you do not obey the coach, you will get a punishment, for example like pushups. Also you need to be disciplined enough not to go off sides and not to commit penalties that are going to hurt your team. Coordination, all teams need to have it. Everyone need to know what to do, who to block, and where to run. Football also teaches teamwork. Everyone needs to work as a team, block for the running back, help people on your team who did not do the right thing, and cover the man someone forgot to. Football also keeps you in shape and strong. Pushups, running, hitting lots of things keep you in awesome shape.

Football also keeps people out of trouble. After school they go right to practice, then home to do homework. After that you are so tired all you want to do is go to bed. In that time there is no time to get into trouble. So as you can see, football has many reasons why it is a good sport, and why I like it so much.
